Here is part of a cartridge belt on display at Big Hole National Battlefield near Wisdom, Montana. This entire cartridge belt included 50 rounds of ammunition. That belt weighed a TON! I can not imagine lugging that thing around during battle. Even more so, I can not imagine being hit by one of those rounds!

The original image has the entire cartridge belt sitting on a red table cloth. Being as the belt is from the 1800s and the red table cloth did not add to the image, I decided to crop in tight and convert to black and white. I did the conversion using Silver Efex Pro from the Google Nik Collection (it is free).

I found the story of the Battle of Big Hole to be quite emotional. Without going into detail, you might find yourselves rooting for the underdog Nez Perce Indians.
